but in SNG's you have to loosen up at times, early on when the blinds are tiny you can play some rubbish in unraised pots.
I think this is more down to player style, I like to play like a rock in early round SnGs (FTR Exc, that's a bluff fest ) I've burned to many chips in the past in the early rounds I just stopped bothering, I like to come alive mid game after people think I'm a rock.
Poker is all about the long long long long long long long term . . . Barney's back . . . back again . . .
